Biopic Virus In Bollywood
The biopic virus seems to be spreading in Bollywood. From The Dirty picture (2011) to the recently released Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the trend of making biographical movies is being set in the B-town.
This time it's Arjun Rampal who hints that he would love to produce a biopic. The model-turned-actor made his production debut with I See You in 2006, which was a flop. Now, Rampal is not in a hurry to be back with a project. The actor wants to play it safe for his second venture under the banner of Chasing Ganesha Films. "There are a lot of scripts that are ready. They are all different from a drama to action film to a biopic. All are interesting projects," said Rampal.
The 40-year-old actor has a few projects in mind but is not very sure about which one to take forward first. "Time just flew by. I was extremely passionate about the story of I See You. I am not taking any chances this time," he said.
Arjun Rampal, who loved the recently released biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, said, "I quite love the concept of biopic, hopefully we would be making one soon. I cannot tell it is whom."
